2007 - BABIP .278, MLB Rank: 30th; 21.1% K Rate, MLB Rank: 23th
2008 - BABIP .281, MLB Rank: 29th; 18.3% K Rate, MLB Rank: 11th
2009 - BABIP .285, MLB Rank: 28th; 18.7% K Rate, MLB Rank: 7th
2010 - BABIP .292, MLB Rank: 23rd; 16.8% K Rate, MLB Rank: 2nd
2011 - BABIP .257, MLB Rank: 30th; 16.8% K Rate, MLB Rank: 2nd

Composite Totals 2007 - 2011: BABIP .283, MLB Rank: 30th; 18.6% K Rate, MLB Rank: 9th


My high-level understanding of SABRmetrics is that BABIP is an indicator of luck (more for pitchers than hitters), but what does it mean that the Sox hitters have been no better than 23rd in the last five years. Interestingly their K Rate has been good over the same period. RPB, help me out here. :D

You have to compare it with line drive % to see if luck could be a factor.
